How we read reviews →Carlton's only Nigerian kitchen. jollof rice, fufu and puff puff made by Aunty Funmi herself.
Compact, community-style dining room in Carlton. part canteen, part home kitchen. Food is kept warm bain-marie style, giving it the feel of a family kitchen serving the neighbourhood. Warm and social with a strong African diaspora crowd.
Home-style cooking by owner Aunty Funmi, known personally by regulars. Serves traditional Yoruba and Igbo dishes rare elsewhere in Melbourne. Catering available for group orders. No delivery. customers arrange Uber pickup.
Deeply authentic Nigerian home cooking. Yoruba staples like efo-riro, moi-moi, amala and puff puff alongside popular jollof rice and poundo yam. Multiple Nigerian-background reviewers confirm it as Melbourne's most authentic Nigerian kitchen.
Around $20-$30 per dish with generous portions. considered excellent value by most, particularly given the home-cooked quality. A small number of reviewers find bain-marie pricing steep.
